Bluetooth headset playback issues

Hello community, here's the situation:

I've got two bluetooth headsets that I often use to connect to my computer for gaming and video conferencing. Both of them have worked without issue for years, but today I tried to connect them and they do not play sounds correctly. When you have a bluetooth
headset with a microphone built in Windows typically installs drivers for "headset mode" which is really crappy audio with a ton of hiss and crackle, and then another mode that I would describe as high definition audio. This had been the case for these headsets
as long as I've had them but now only the headset mode audio is available. In addition, all of the other bluetooth devices in the menu show a "driver error" warning. Troubling, I know. Here are some of the things I've tried to overcome this issue:

• Shutdown/restart. I've tried both, no change.
• Remove device / reconnect to device, no change.
• Uninstall/reinstall driver, no change.
• Update drivers with windows, my drivers were already up to date so far as windows could tell. No drivers have been released for either headset recently.
• Windows updates, no change.
• Bang head on desk, small welt.

Other details as they come:

• Before today I could switch between headset mode and high definition mode in the playback and sounds menu, but now only the headset mode shows up there even though the drivers for both are installed.

Anybody have this issue and resolve it? Wanna be a pal?

Good surround sound headset

I know you say you're not that guy, but stepping into the $250+ range really brings a change in build quality that might have you never having to buy another set. Otherwise, getting 6 speakers with decent sound in a headset is hard, and that's what you are asking for, and I have no suggestions, but just a bump up the list. *Stick Out Tongue
